International Names You Love *Boys Edition*

I love exotic names from other cultures, and I feel like I should be able to use them even though I don't belong to any of the cultures/ethnicities, but I'm not sure I would have the guts to actually use one.

Do you think it's okay to use a name from a different background than your own?

I think I would also use them depending on how I can handle the pronunciation because I suck at pronouncing names sometimes haha. But names I have liked from different cultures and can pronounce are:
